MaiAwards 2019

The MaiAwards 2019 ceremony will be the first time the award show is held, hosted by Naomi Campbell and Timothée Chalamet. The ceremony is produced and televised by BTV, and will be held in the Grand Royal Theatre in Farsknordi, Björnska.

During a press conference, BTV revealed that the ceremony will recognise excellence in various fields of entertainment, predominantly music, and will include a "glamorous" red carpet event also. Attendees will include various high-profile celebrities, actors, musicians, and media figures.

The nominees and winners of the awards will be decided by a professional committee.

Presentation
The awards ceremony will be presented by Timothée Chalamet and Naomi Campbell, in the Grand Royal Theatre in Farsknordi, Björnska. They will announce the nominees for each award, and reveal the winner(s) through verbal announcement and unveilment of a card from inside a golden envelope. There will be a "large stage", with an LED backdrop, over 2000 lighting fixtures, and "hundreds" of cameras in order to capture live reactions for the television broadcast. There is an expected seating capacity for over 4,000 audience members, with the front seating reserved for high-profile attendees.

BTV says they are co-operating with "dozens" of broadcasters, with the aim to have the ceremony broadcast internationally. It has also been reported that the broadcaster is in discussion with the Maia Broadcasting Union to enhance the viewership even further.

The ceremony will take place predominantly in English, though Chalamet is expected to provide French commentary for key aspects of the show. Subtitles will be provided in Björnsk for the BTV broadcast.
